Welcome to Art Room 104! Well, I no longer teach in room 104...it's now room 309, but the heart is still there! I have now transitioned into teaching 7th-12th grades, and my focus is now moving towards Choice Based Learning in the art room. Join me on my journey as I enter new territory, experiment, and share how I fit it all into the realm of Common Core!

Floor mural is done!

Today was the final day for working on the floor mural in my student's play house! It looks AMAZING! I'm really jealous that I didn't have a play house like this when I was younger! There was a little more I would have liked to have done to this, but after approximately 15 hours of working on it, I think the kids were petered out, and so were the adults! For the entire mural, we had two adults (myself and her mom included), and four different kids (2 fourth graders, 1 fifth grader and 1 2nd grader) work on the mural at any given time. Check it out!

Nope...it's actually a playhouse that my student's dad built them in their back yard. I give one of the 4th grade students private art lessons about twice a month and her mother asked if over the summer, instead of doing lessons, I would come to their house and help them paint the floor in their playhouse!

About Me

I have now entered my 7th year of teaching in a very small, extremely rural district. I've been an elementary art teacher for 3 years, a K-12 teacher for 3 years, and now, I am a 7th-12th grade high school art teacher...my dream grade levels! I am also a Jamberry consultant, and while I don't find much time to make my own art anymore, I love to design my own jams!
